Cowboys Release CB LeQuan Lewis; Roster Down To 52

IRVING, Texas – The bye week typically is a time for a few tweaks and changes, especially after a tough loss like the Cowboys had Monday night against the Bears, falling to 2-2.

Expect a few roster alterations to either the 53-man roster and/or the practice squad before the Oct. 14 game in Baltimore.

The Cowboys made on Tuesday, waiving cornerback LeQuan Lewis from the roster, dropping the roster down to 52 players. Obviously, the move was made to add another player although the Cowboys didn’t officially announce a roster addition.

Lewis, who was added from the Jets’ practice squad two weeks ago, played in the last two games, mostly on special teams. He was forced into action near the end of the Tampa Bay game on Sept. 23, playing cornerback in nickel situations as the Bucs were throwing into the end zone to try and claw back into the game.

The speedster was the gunner on the punt team and one of the middle players on the kickoff coverage units as well. Read
